Einstein - Common Language of Science

This essay titled Common Language of Science was written by Einstein in 1941, he gives us the reader a empirical understanding on the fundamental development of language and its relationship to humanity. He takes the concept of language from its origin and evolution, and skillfully unfolds the delicate future this tool beholds. Einstein beautifully details the evolution of language to thinking, and as these seedlings germinated and prospered it progressed to the development of an international language of science. Even though this essay is short on content, the concept and progression of language is truly the single most important human discovery of our time, I have reflected on this daily...pondering how this remarkable contribution has affected the quality of my life and the civilization of humanity. We can easily say, the science of language has provided each of us a grand gift by design, and our lives are made easier as we rely on the technologies of this magnificent advancement.
